Overview

• About 17,000 residents in six Sierra Sur de Sevilla towns face nightly shutoffs from 23:00 to 08:00 due to depleted storage and pump failures after days near 44–45°C, the local water consortium said.
• Local supply relies on the La Puebla de Cazalla reservoir and shallow groundwater already at very low levels after prolonged drought, prompting rationing until deposits recover.
• MoMo surveillance attributes 122 deaths to extreme temperatures so far in August in the Valencian Community, with the highest daily tolls recorded on August 18–20 during red alerts and exceptionally warm nights.
• From June 1 to August 20, MoMo counts 309 heat‑attributable deaths in the Valencian Community, led by Alicante (205), followed by Castellón (72) and Valencia (32), with 166 men and 143 women.
• Experts note that MACE and MoMo estimate different phenomena—moderate plus extreme heat vs only extreme heat—leading to divergent national totals and underscoring calls for structural adaptations such as housing retrofit, urban greening and alleviating energy poverty.
